McDonald's burgers finished dead last in a diners' survey just published by Consumer Reports.

"McDonald's own customers ranked its burgers significantly worse than those of 20 competitors, including Hardee's, White Castle, and Carl's Jr. No other house specialty scored as low," the magazine wrote.

Five Guys Burgers and Fries, the Washington D.C.-based burger chain that is expanding in the Capital Region, was found to be third best. West Coast favorites The Habit Burger Grill and In-N-Out Burger served the No. 1 and No. 2 burgers in the country.

Consumer Reporters wrote the findings are the result of the magazine's latest fast-food survey.

"After devouring 96,208 meals at 65 chains, our readers told us that quality of the food has become more important in their dining decisions, and convenience of location is less so than in our 2011 report," the magazine reported. "They could be reasons the traditional fast-food chains are losing their edge: Diners, especially younger adults in the millennial generation, may be more willing go out of their way to get a tasty meal."

Capital Region diners can take heart when it comes to burritos - Chipotle Mexican Grill had the best burritos and Moe's Southwest Grill came in fifth.
